In case of problems please watch the following hints:

1.) Don't try to use former miro Windows 3.xx drivers for Windows 95.
    In case you tried to use these drivers make sure that all former 
    miro Windows 3.xx drivers and entries in your SYSTEM.INI file are removed. 

    In the SYSTEM.INI you have to remove the complete entries in the section
    [928.drv], [Twin.right] and [Twin.left]. Delete in your Win95 the follo-
    wing files if available:

    Del \\OEMMAGS4.*
    Del \\OEMRAIN.*
    Del \\OEMCR32S.*
    Del \\OEMCR24S.*
    Del \\OEMCR16S.*
    Del \\OEMC16SI.*
    Del \\OEMCR8S.*
    Del \\OEMC10SD.*
    Del \\OEMC20SD.*
    Del \\OEMC20SV.*
    Del \\OEMC40SV.*
    Del \\OEMMAG40.*
    Del \\OEMMAG20.*
    Del \\OEMC20TW.*
    Del \\OEMBIBO*.*
    Del \\MAGS4*.DRV
    Del \\RAIN*.DRV
    Del \\CR32S*.DRV  
    Del \\CR24S*.DRV
    Del \\CR16S*.DRV
    Del \\C16SI*.DRV
    Del \\C8S*.DRV
    Del \\1SD*.DRV
    Del \\C20SD*.DRV
    Del \\C20SV*.DRV
    Del \\C40SV*.DRV
    Del \\M20*.DRV
    Del \\M40*.DRV
    Del \\TW10*.DRV
    Del \\TW20*.DRV
    Del \\TWIN.DRV
    Del \\OCTO.MON
    Del \\OCTOVGA.*
    Del \\MAGIC_S4.BMP
    Del \\RAIN_WIN.BMP
    Del \\MINFO.TXT
    Del \\MWINTOOL.INI
    Del \\MSUP*.*
    Del \\MONSEL.*
    Del \\VIRTDLL.DLL
    Del \\MFONTCOM.EXE
    Del \\MIROSCOP.EXE
    Del \\MIROHOOK.DLL
    Del \\MSCOPE*.HLP
    Del \\MPWRSAVE.SCR
    Del \\TWIN*.*
    Del \\MTINT*.*
    Del \\MSIZE*.*
    Del \\WSIZER.*
    Del \\WADJUST.*
    Del \\MIROLOGO.RLE

    Delete the miroWINTOOL group and the includes icons 
    on your Windows95 desktop too !!!

2.) In case you are using a miro monitor or a common model please install
    a new monitor file. This monitor.inf file is on this installation disk. 
    Make sure that there is no older OEM*.INF monitor file in your Win95\INF
    subdirectory. This subdirectory is hidden, but you  can make it visible
    by entering the DIR /a command. All INF files are ASCII files and you
    can read these files with every editor, so please make sure that you
    don't delete needed INF files. Look into the file before you delete it !!!
    If you are using the miro monitor files of the original Windows 95 CD,
    please use the miro monitor file of this disk.

3.) Everytime you install new display drivers in Windows 95 a new OEM*.INF 
    file will be copied into your WIN95\INF subdirectory. Windows 95 doesn't 
    remove the old *.inf files. Make sure that only the specified OEM*.INF file
    is available. This could prevent many problems!

4.) In case Windows 95 doesn't start VLB computers, you can change the base-
    address for the linear memory adressing. This decimal value should be 
    dividable by 1048576(1024KB)

        System.ini:
        [Display]
        LinBase=<Adress>

        i.e. 67108864, 268435456


5.) Some of the older miro graphic PCI boards are not compatible to the new PCI 
    standard rev. 2.0. Therefore you might get problems during the startup of 
    your system. This is especially true for some later chipsets (e.g.
    Intel Triton). These chipsets and the according Plug and Play BIOS
    don't support older boards conforming to PCI rev. 1.x.

6)  At the time the miro OCTO S3 Graphicadapters were developed,
    the VESA standard V.1.0 was actual. So these graphicadapters
    are compatible only to this older version of this standard.
    Newer VESA standards and included video modes won't be supported !!!
